Default Exhaust leak

I'm all excited, got my new set of APN headers installed along with a flow master super 44 and high flow cat annndddd . . . I have an exhaust leak. The the first joint near the firewall where the back three ports come together has a hairline leak in the weld. 1) Should I call APN and will they pay for the labor to reinstall the new manifold? 2) just take off the intake myself and use something like Alvin Products Hi-Temp Lab-Metal rated at 1000 deg?

Warranty the header. You'd have to have it welded properly to fix anyway. That goo will just burn away.

I'm with salad,Warranty the header or have it welded locally.The Alvin Products sounds like a bandaid and probably crack or blow off over time.

So the deal is I have to submit a labor claim because it'll be $275 to get the job done. Don't have the time right now, since the Army is moving my family and me to Alaska. Just take care of it there then. Should just be easy to have someone take care of it there
